~Feel free to discuss any topic related to the Mitchell Camera. Both 35 mm and 16 mm models are welcomed here. Also consider posting topics of other major motion picture cameras that you feel are important to the development of the Mitchell Camera.

Update: You may have noticed that we have returned to just one category as opposed to dividing the forum into 7 different areas. Apparently, it was an unpopular change and returning to the old format will allow posters to find their submissions more easily.~

Before I am hospitalized with Nitrate film decomposition syndrome (spending so much time in the vault), I have unearthed two additional pictures from Broadway.

The female in the pictures is the principal actress in the film, Merna Kennedy, former darling of Charles Chaplin in several of his early efforts, and the one time wife of dance genius Busby Berkley.

Before one foot of emulsion was exposed, Fajos in concert with art director Charles D Hall had a full scale mini set constructed of the Broadway main set, this was imperative not only for general story-boarding, but it allowed Fajos and Hal Mohr the ability to precisely plan and later execute every camera move realized while on the Broadway crane!

It is this model that Ms. Kennedy poses with.

As they said back in the day, "she looked swell".

Remember to support retrospective houses of cinema, and the projection of 35mm emulsion, demand that prints actually be projected, enough is enough, of the digital monolith:-(
